Centre hospitalier universitaire de Montréal
Encyclopedia : C : CE : CEN : Centre hospitalier universitaire de Montréal
The Centre hospitalier universitaire de Montréal (CHUM), or University of Montreal Hospital Center, sometimes wrongly designated as the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, is one of the two major hospital networks in Montreal, the other being the McGill University Health Centre. The CHUM is associated with the Université de Montréal.
The component (teaching) hospitals of the network:
- Hôtel-Dieu du CHUM
- Hôpital Notre-Dame du CHUM
- Hôpital Saint-Luc du CHUM
Initial plans show that St-Luc would remain open, while consolidation of the other hospitals would occur what is currently a bus depot. But a change in government has ruled that the site is too dangerous, owing to the train tracks next to the site which can have trains carrying dangerous chemicals. Current plans indicate that St-Luc will be expanded into a superhosptial and either Notre-Dame or Hotel-Dieu will remain as the general hospital.
The Université de Montréal also has a second university hospital center, the Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine, which is independent from the CHUM (in opposition to the Montreal Children Hospital, which is part of the McGill University Health Centre, Sainte-Justine is a CHU in itself).
